At this time, Ah Yun was already in despair, just lowered his head, thinking that he was so miserable at a young age, and couldn't help tears falling down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Shen said: "What Sima Shangshu said is extremely true, according to the law, Ayun should be beheaded!" Do you still have different opinions? ”

There was a sigh of embarrassment in the jury, and some people said: "What does the jury do in such a clear case?" ”

There were even more female relatives who sighed: "No, you see how can this weak woman like Ayun kill her husband?" There must be something hidden in it. ”

"Mr. Ouyang, what do you think about this?" Zhao Ji asked Ouyang Xiu in a low voice.

Ouyang Xiu frowned and twisted his beard with his hand: "No, if I'm not mistaken, the emperor once had an edict and an edict, saying: Murder has been injured, according to the question, surrender, from murder to two degrees." He looked at Zhao Ji, isn't it obvious that there is a difference between the criminal law and the holy decree?

Zhao Ji looked at the lobby, Xu Zun, the person who resolutely commuted Ah Yun's sentence, had to be silent because of his current status as an official of Dali Temple. There is another person who is in the same camp as Xu Zun, and that person is Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi did not come today.

It seems that the overall situation has been settled today, although the appearance of this Ah Yun surprised everyone present.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind the jury: "Slow, this case is still controversial, I'll speak for Ah Yun!" ”

"Brother Wang?" Zhao Ji couldn't help but whisper, and turned his head to look at the voice, Wang was walking towards the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion with his head held high.

"Isn't that the king's side?"

The people watching outside Kaifeng Mansion and the people watching the trial outside the lobby also recognized the king of Zhennan.

"Hey, there's a good show to watch now, this prince hasn't appeared for a long time, and every time he appears, it's refreshing!"

"Did you hear that, he said that he spoke for Ah Yun, what is an endorsement?"

"Stupid, instead of speaking! I'll just say, there must be an inside story in this case, otherwise why can't I be convicted for so long? ”

Of course, Wang Bian heard these discussions around him, but he didn't stop, if only the grievances of the case or the internal affairs were as simple as that.

It seems that this is just an ordinary case, but the timing of this case is too coincidental, just when Wang Anshi is preparing for change. Wang Anshi wanted to realize his legal concept that "etiquette cannot be used by the common people, and punishment cannot be imposed by the doctor", which is a kind of progress in the feudal society of etiquette and law, and he thus became a representative figure who actively advocated changing the law later. And Sima Guang insisted and abided by a kind of "extraordinarily discerning, indecent and incivil; "Rites" is the cornerstone of its controversy, which implements the basic spirit of taking rites as the law and combining rites and laws in the feudal society of etiquette and law, and has become an active defender of the conservative idea opposed to Wang Anshi. Judging from the differences in legal concepts between the two sides, it is not surprising that such a very ordinary criminal case as the Ayun case has caused such a year-long controversy in the imperial court and stirred up such a big wave.

As for Wang Bi, he not only wants to help Wang Anshi, but also helps Zhao Ji. Between the law and the edict, if the decree is changed overnight, it will become impossible to follow. Of course, for the current king, he will not miss any opportunity to involve the people and help change the law.

Yesterday, Wang Bi and Xu Zun turned back to Wang Anshi's mansion, and Xu Zun told them what happened to the case and the reason why he wanted to fight for Ah Yun's chance to live. After listening to this, Wang was a little moved, but Wang Anshi couldn't come forward about this group of Ayun. Of course, Wang Pan remembered the scene when Wang Anshi handed over those books to him just now, presumably he was busy with the affairs of the Development and Reform Department these days, and Wang Anshi and Ben didn't have much preparation.

I promised to come down tomorrow to defend Ah Yun. After saying goodbye to his father and Xu Zun, Wang went to Kaifeng Mansion on purpose, and now Ah Yun has been transferred to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion.

The palace is full of people who come and go next to the inner king, but this is the first time that the king of death row has come, and the stone at the door of the cell has a hideous face. Following a servant, the king walked into the prison. In the dark and damp cells, there were three or four criminals in each room, some squinting at the king's side, some quietly scratching something with stones on the wall. These are prisoners who have committed relatively minor crimes, and they can get out after a while.

Further inside, there are mostly big cases, there are only two people at most in a cage, some of these people look at the king numbly, and some of them grab the cage and shout to the people who come in: "Official, I am wronged!" Some even stretched out their hands through the cracks, trying to touch the clothes next to the king and the peiyu on his body, and their eyes flowed with nostalgia, admiration, and greedy light.

Finally, I finally came to the death row prisoner, where the musty sour smell was mixed with the rancid smell of spoiled food, and the walls were hung with hemp ropes, wooden boxes, flails, locks, shackles and other torture instruments. There was a box bed in the cage of the prison, and a man was sitting on the bed, looking up at the wall in a daze.

"This is Ah Yun!"

"Open the prison door!"

"Yes!"

The girl was still motionless, and there was a little strange next to the king, and he turned and walked up to Ah Yun, and the jailer who followed him carried a lantern to illuminate the cell.

"Ah Yun! Someone came to see you! "The jailer didn't dare to tell Ah Yun about the identity of the king, which was also explained by the king.

Ah Yun turned her head warmly, the light shone on her face, and all she saw next to the king was a pair of confused and helpless eyes.

"You, you're Ah Yun?"

Ah Yun nodded lightly: "You are?" ”

"I'm here to help you with the lawsuit!"

"Help me with the lawsuit?" Ah Yun was a little surprised, for so long, except for the prefect Li Zun, no one had heard what he said, and no one would speak for himself.

Until he saw Ah Yun, Wang Bei's mind changed, Ah Yun's case was not only to help his father win this dispute between the old and new jurisprudence, but more importantly, to give Ah Yun a fair sentence here.

In the middle of the lobby, Ah Yun was kneeling there, and the night in the king's mind could not forget the innocent and bright eyes when Ah Yun looked at him.

"Who's coming?" Li Shen asked.

"My name is Wang Pan, and I am Ah Yun's defender."

"What's your relationship with the criminal?!"

"It's okay!"

After Wang Bei finished speaking, Zhao Ji and Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but smile silently.

Sima Guang said on the side: "What, does the prince also want to meddle in this case?" ”

There was a buzz on the jury: "This is the prince, this is the king?" That Mayer Mansion, Jinxiang Mansion, next to the king of the Splendid Building? ”

"People don't do that for a long time, and now they are abandoning business and politics, you don't know that Yongzhou has changed a lot after he went!"

In the crowd outside the lobby, Concubine De watched Wang pass by, and her eyes lit up just now. She heard a lot of the name next to the king, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful and handsome. At this time, she was really a little jealous of Ah Yun kneeling in the hall.

"Concubine De, have you seen it, this is next to the king!"

"Hmm!" Concubine De snorted, and there seemed to be something magnetic on the king's body, attracting her attention. Not only her, but the people around seemed to look at the king's surroundings and the surroundings were shining. In the entire lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, this is the highlight.

Wang Fang bowed his hand to Sima Guang and the others: "I made this proposal for a public trial, of course I want to come." And for the sake of the public trial and the jury here to make a more fair judgment, I will endorse Ah Yun. ”

Sima Guang shook his head, "Song Criminal Law" is written in black and white, so the sentence is clearly written, it depends on how you defend.

"King, you can start!" Li Shen said.

"Li participates in politics, before starting, I want a few people to go to the lobby together."

"You say!"

"This case is a case of Ah Yun hurting someone, and since Ah Yun is ruled to have murdered her husband, the victim should be invited to come forward."

Li Shen nodded: "Bring the victim of this case, Wei Da, up!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the official who had been prepared a long time ago walked up to the lobby with Wei Da. Looking at Wei Da, many people have deeper doubts in their hearts, this Wei Da is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, seven feet tall, very tall, but his appearance is very ugly. Such a big man, standing next to Ah Yun, the contrast was immediately apparent.

"Wei Da! Do you know this person? Wang pointed to Ah Yun and asked Wei Da.

Wei Da saw that Ah Yun was haggard, and scolded in his heart that he deserved it, and he didn't dare to show it on his face: "Yes, she is my fiancée, she wants to kill me!" ”

"Again, who is she?"

Wei Da scratched his head, he was not wrong, this is his daughter-in-law who exchanged several stones of grain for her, and the dowry has been paid, but she hasn't had time to hold a banquet, who knows that this little girl actually ran to her own farmhouse and was ruthless while she was asleep.

"She's my daughter-in-law who hasn't passed through the door!" Wei Da repeated it again.

"Since he hasn't passed through the door, how can you say that he is your daughter-in-law?"

"She, her family accepted my dowry, and of course she promised her to me."

Wang Bian smiled, he smiled very easily, turned his head to Li Shen and said, "Li Shenzheng, I'm done asking about this person." I still have someone to ask! Now I'm going to ask Ah Yun's family, the one who promised her to Wei Da. ”

"Spread Ayun's uncle and aunt!"

A pair of middle-aged women were brought up, and the aunt glared at Ah Yun fiercely, and when she heard that her relatives were coming, Ah Yun looked at her uncle, who hurriedly lowered his head and did not look at Ah Yun. Ah Yun became more and more sad, but at this time she stopped crying.

"Let me ask you, Ah Yun gave Wei Da a kiss if he was not married."

"Exactly!"

"Then why do you only set up a marriage, but don't let Ah Yun pass through the door?"

Ah Yun's uncle lowered his head even deeper, and seemed unwilling to answer this question at all, and his aunt said, "It's just because Ah Yun's mother died not long ago, so I ......"

"Be louder! Again," the king seemed to feel that the crowd had not heard clearly.

"Because Ah Yun's mother died not long ago!"

"So, it was you two elders who sold Ayun to Wei Da during Ah Yun's mourning?"

"Buzz!" The inside and outside of the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion suddenly exploded. Not only watching the excitement, but also the jury, and even the officials of the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department who were hearing the trial couldn't sit still at this time, and they started talking one after another.
